I'm part of Generation X, & we'd be lying if we said we didn't have one of these, or know someone with one, when we were younger. Of course, they were a bit more cheap looking back then. These are well made, & come with hardware that helps it hold a decent load of stuffed animals, boyfriend trinkets, & dirty shirts (I have one in each of my kids rooms, which are 6, 13 & 15). Believe it or not, it's the 6yr old who uses it for the shirts. I'd recommend this to anyone, it's pretty nostalgic too.
